Concierge.com's insider take:

There's something for everyone at Ana Intercontinental, a central Roppongi hotel that was renovated in 2007. The rooms are modern while still nodding to Japan's aesthetic past: Traditional colors such as indigo and red balance out the contemporary, minimal furnishings, and those looking to soak in the bath have the added bonus of in-tub TV screens. The striking views play out like a personality test: Do you prefer the bright lights of Roppongi, the quiet grandeur of the Imperial Palace, or the sublime beauty of Mount Fuji? Even the in-house dining and drinking options—there are 12 total—cover all the bases. Besides the expected (three Japanese restaurants, a steak house), there are also a few surprises, such as the two-Michelin-star Pierre Gagnaire restaurant, the Champagne Bar, and the top floor's Mixx Bar & Lounge, which, since opening in September 2010, has been drawing in stylish crowds with its inventive molecular cocktails, bowls of truffle-oil popcorn, and fantastic panoramas of Tokyo.—Rebecca Willa Davis
